A lot of talented artists are contributing work to this interesting-looking Lucha Libre-themed event going down in Los Angeles tonight. It’s part art show, part concert, part car show, and part Lucha Libre wrestling. Looks like tickets start at $25.

Please pardon the side project pluggery, but this week’s T-Shirt of the Week has got to be this new California Sun tee for Selector with great hand drawn original artwork by Gavin Murai of Reckon Shop.

The Washingtonian just announce dates & locations for the upcoming POW! WOW! DC mural festival in late May. Oh, and is that a photo from last year’s POW! WOW! Long Beach in the article? Why, yes it is. That’s the homie Aaron De La Cruz working on his awesome Park[D] Plaza floor mural. Photo by the insanely talented Brandon Shigeta.

It’s another beautiful day here in Los Angeles so what’s more appropriate than these three enamel lapel pin styles from Lil Bullies Club, new in the Typo Shop? One a tribute to Tupac, another throwing up a W until the very end, and last but definitely not least, the new LBC collab with Benjie Escobar; an awesome ode to the wire wheel. All include free shipping on US orders.

I’m a huge fan of the Class Acts initiative by San Diego-based sunglasses brand Knockaround, whereby local school children get to design their own shades, and then a winning design is put into production. The best part is that proceeds go towards arts supplies for local schools. This year’s winning design is called After the Storm Premiums, and they are super fun.

There’s an impressive-looking group show opening at the Vincent Price Museum in East LA this evening, echoing group exhibitions at West LA’s Giant Robot, entitled Silent Wonderment: Exploring the World of Giant Robot. The line up features Ako Castuera & Rob Sato, Albert Reyes, Yoskay Yamamoto and Matt Furie, with additional work by tons more talented contributors!

I was lucky enough to meet Zach Tutor, the man behind the giant Tumblr-based art website Supersonic Art at POW! WOW! Hawaii 2016. It’s always fascinating to put face on a website you’ve followed for ages, and Zach turned out to be every bit as fun and interesting as his well-known website. This week’s T-shirt(s) of the Week are not one but two new tees he’s recently made available, including his iconic Supersonic Skull logo tee, as well as Live Fast or Die, Nine Times…. [See More]

I was lucky enough to meet Japanese artist Haroshi during POW! WOW! Hawaii 2015. He’s an incredibly talented sculptor, best known for his works created from repurposed skateboards. Here in SoCal, he’s known for working closely with skate brand HUF, amongst others. This artist profile by Magic Lanterns tours his Tokyo studio and sheds light on his process. Via Booooooom TV.
